As most of you know the founder, of this fun fishing tournament, Wheaton Williams passed away on May 6th, a committee is continuing the tournament in his honor and thanks to the great sponsors this is possible. The Youth Assistance Program (YAP) will continue to be the beneficiary once again this year, as Wheat had done the previous 12 years. Last year 48 teams participated, with the biggest fish being 9.93 pounds and the 2 fish weight of 17.36 pounds, we hope to have an even better turnout this year! Ask around, you will find that anyone who has fished in this tournament in the past, has enjoyed the day, and the fish fry to follow the event.

Glad to see that this local favorite tourney will continue. We used to take in a lot of entries at the bait shop. Feel free to drop some entry forms off with us. Just more convenient for a lot of fishermen.
